I'm excited for this opportunity! Can you tell me more about how the interview process works?
examplecompany_recruiter 10 months ago next
We usually start with a 45-minute phone screening, followed by 2-3 technical interviews, and a final on-site with our tech lead.

@jane_dev_getz I had the same question; the on-site made all the difference for me in understanding the company's culture and values.

I'm curious to hear what kind of projects the Senior Backend Engineers at ExampleCompany work on.

We trust our backend engineers with owning entire services and supporting significant portions of our platform's functionality. Depending on the team, you could be working on our data pipeline, payment systems, or our API integration layer.
